' ' JUggS SLOP Bl QUUIUUV11S. .' . : Holiday orders comtog..: : rst Smsl.Ars Xa. - TheT first Columbia "rivet smelt to be seen In the wholesale section aftlved-on the street this morning and found a good demand at 0c a pound. Indications now point to a very large run of smelt during-the coming season, and prices will soon begin to drop to their accustomed level; Last season the arrivals of smelt were so large that the prices obtained in the wholesale markets did not in many cases., pay fop,' the. freight .charges, let alone pay for the boxes and the time involved in catching ; them. -' Other branches of the fish market were quite lively todiy;, especially during the early morning, when -the retailers arrived to buy for the -day's business. Prices are unchanged! ' - '' Potatoes Tery Bull. . . Extreme dullness is aoted throughout the entire potato market, the demand from San Francisco at this time being practically oft on account of the larger receipts of rivers and the smaller call for stocks dunlng the holidays. The price for potatoes how being paid by the shippers is rather low, and many farm ers refuse to sell until, the former high ruling prices are reached. Some few bays are reported up the valley, but the market will actually stand and were made for speculative purposes only, A better' tone is expected to prevail in po tatoes after the first of the! year, but until that time nothing but dullness can be expected. In the local markets the arrivals of potatoes have been rather small, mainly due to the large "short age in the xar supply. The car short age is one of the principal drawbacks to the betterment of the market, deal ers reporting that they still have or ders on hand from the south which they are unable to fill on account of the lack of transportation. ' gome of the dealers report that it takes them about a week to get a single car out of the rail road company. ,' , ,.: , Onions Bull. Too. Although the dullness 'in the 'onion market Cannot be , attributed to the shortage in the car supply; still the pres ent condition can be traced to that fact Some time ago, when' the local onion men had plenty of onion orders from the south they were unable 'to fill them on accouftt-or--the-lack ot ears and most of the orders ' went to California and Colorado points 'on account.' 'of the in ability of the Portlanders t deliver the' goods. The present ' dullness in onions is not due to this' case, but only on account of the too heavy, receipts of. late In the Baa Francisco, market, - At home but little onion-buying is going on, mainly , due to this, fact. The coolness of the' weather during the past week was also one of the causes of the dullness in onions and potatoes.. The dealers here, had plenty of stocks, most of the Ware houses being filled to overflowing, but1 the fear of frosen stocks kept most of tuem from being moved. ; Fork Receipts Art Larger. , .The receipts of dressed.' pork on- the street are growing larger, especially on the heavier slsea, and -this has a tend ency to somewhat weaken'' the smaller, grades. . The call Is quite brisk, - how ever, and all arrivals are disposed of at quotations. Veal is coming . in ... more plentiful supplies, but the market re mains firm for the smaller carcasses. Beef and mutton are unchanged injsUher tone or price. - . ' bulls Hurt Apples. The large receipts of cull apples dur ing the past week or so has had a very disastrous effect on -the market, and trade today was dull. Good-packed ap ples are not In veryjjeavy receipt and "can hardly be quoted.; ; , i Several cars of navel oranges arrived yesterday, but as the eolor was not so good -the movement is smalt . The California steamer will arrive" this evening 'with an assorted cargo of fruits and vegetables. A small shipment of grapes ts expected, Xxoltsment la Poultry. , Although the receipts of chickens to day show a considerable gain over those of yesterday, still there was an excit ing call for 'all arrivals at top prices. The dealers were so anxious to get stocks' that they bought quite heavily of dressed poultry. Prices are unchanged today. ' ..,:, ' JCsT" Hold Prtoes. ' There is no change in the receipts of fresh Oregon eggs, and the price, 37Ho for ordinary stocks and 40o for extra selects, was maintained during the day. Even the eastern eggs are very scarce. The price of cold-storage and those on the fresh Oregon show such a vast amount of difference lOo a doien that many retailers are buying the former grade.:. - ; . ' Opinions on the Market. -Glafke company Orders for holiday goods are piling up Just now.. Good demand for eastern cranberries. V . Turner & Co.
